I assume that ND restricts making new copyrighted works rather than changing the format. A recode would be seen, legally, as the same work with all rights still held by the original copyright owner, after all.
If I'm wrong here, there's really no fair use exemption, since that would involve copying the entire work, and fair use rarely allows that
The distinction you're trying to draw is bogus. If you can afford to take a $50 Uber, you already aren't poor, and you can also afford to take a $120 Uber (or bother to car-pool with someone).
And someone who can afford a $120 Uber can afford a a $300 Uber and someone who can afford that can afford $500.
Fixed pricing would primarily result in fewer drivers bothering to come to a disaster area, and it would discourage people from sharing rides: both bad outcomes.
How many more drivers did Uber get as a result of the price hike?
A calibrated barometer adjusted for temperature will be more accurate. But you'll get a completely different pressure at a given altitude depending on all sorts of factors.
You seem to be misinterpreting the purpose of the article. This isn't a technical analysis of a hack. It's a simple article, using common terminology for brevity.
And geeks who can't dial down the pedantry are every bit as bad as the ones who are unable to be pedantic. We need to deal with real people as well as computers.
Okay. While I realise that is a legitimate alternative reason, I don't think it's a reason that you can use to justify believing that part of the intent was allowing free use of bandwidth via a proxy.
As for "obvious", that tends to be down to the jury. My perception is that most people would agree that this is obviously for the purpose of speed tests. Perhaps you'd be willing to try your luck and hope that some disagree. I'd err on the side of caution here
Most people would assume that this is to allow people to speedtest. "I'm too stupid to realize the obvious" tends not to be a defense.
It'd be like, if you ask me if you can come into my house, and I said "yes", I can't then turn around and pretend you were unauthorized to enter. I just told you you could! If I didn't want that, then I should have said "no".
Explicit permission from an individual is different from automated permission, which can easily be tricked. If I bash away at a keypad entry system until I get in, that keypad entry system hasn't "granted permission".
But even so, if I gained your permission through misrepresentation of my reasons, or who I am, then I could still be committing a crime.
That's fine, just let me know when there's any law at all that says that hopping on an open wifi without the owners permission is a crime.
Tends to be based on state laws that cover "unauthorised access to a computer network", and it's a bit vague as to whether wi-fi piggybacking really counts, but people have been arrested for this.
According to Wikipedia, 'The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a politically conservative non-profit association founded in 1943 to "fight socialized medicine and to fight the government takeover of medicine."'
Even if we reject the "politically conservative" categorisation, I'd say that quoted aim casts doubt on their neutrality here.
I think it reasonable to expect the hyperloop will be closer to the centre than an airport. High speed rail stations tend to be very central, so no reason hyperloop wouldn't be.
Automated systems stop to prevent accidents. Vehicles apply brakes. Power plants shut down. Fuses blow.
A self driving car should not swerve, except in a minor way that keeps it on the road. It should just attempt to stop. It can see far ahead enough that it will know when it needs to stop, so it's not like it needs to correct for its own mistakes.
Even though I never use any illegal drugs, I don't see this as any of my employer's business. If they want an employee to pee on demand, then they can get a dog.
The benefit of people dealing with email after work is probably not something that has a huge impact on the company's bottom line. Very few things can't wait until the morning.
Mostly this is more a problem of pushy managers rather than business need.
We're talking about "toxins" though - one of those things that the Mail is obsessed about (and yes, they're misusing this term as well). I guess Carbon dioxide is excluded from that, and they're looking only at carcinogens or something.

20 shillings.
A guinea being 21 shillings, presumably because the 12 pence to the shilling; 20 shillings to the pound made far too much sense.

Scarce resources shouldn't be given exclusively to the rich. Why does a rich person deserve transport out of the city but a poor person not?
Fixed pricing would distribute the resources more or less randomly, which is a lot more fair.

GPS can do that. Much more accurately.
But they said it's a "barometric vent"; not a barometer. Could it just be a hole to make sure the internal and external pressure are the same?
Season X was not so bad. Not up to the standard of the best of 1-6, but pretty much on a par with some of the okay episodes.

He's whining that the path component in the URL isn't necessarily a folder; since this depends on implementation on the server.

Which means Apple can justify removing the charger from the iPhone 10. Just buy a new one when the battery dies.

And for everyone like you, there are roughly 99999 people who only have one phone that they want to plug headphones into.
Not *quite* as fast, but the Shanghai maglev manages over 300mph so that gets the journey down to an hour.
In addition, you have much greater capacity and a more established platform.

It is a race car.
But I'd say that the 33rd fastest computer system at the time is a decent contended for "supercomputer".
Assange is a serious self-publicist. He may well have this information, but him saying so isn't going to convince me.
Just release the sodding data.
It was never Google's slogan. They had "don't be evil" as an unofficial slogan, but that's subtly different.
It's a refusal.
Even though I never use any illegal drugs, I don't see this as any of my employer's business. If they want an employee to pee on demand, then they can get a dog.
I'll find an employer that respects my dignity.
I don't think it is.
